TO DO LIST 📝

• ⌨ Integrate InputUtils: Add support for the popular mod InputUtils

  • The mod adds an interface in the settings menu to change the hotkeys that mods like this create, which normally you can only change in the config.

• ⚡ Conductivity Indication: Add two separate ways that you can change the UI to indicate that you're conductive.

  • HUD Conductivity: A single indicator to the HUD that will only appear when you are holding a conductive item.
  • Inventory Conductivity: A indicator to the icon of any conductive items that are in your inventory.
  • The indicator used should likely be a lightning bolt. For icons the indicator will appear in a corner.
  • This feature would only run when on a moon that has lightning occurring. This would help performance.

• 💰 Inventory Item Value: Add the quota value to the items icons in your inventory. (suggested by @paradox75831004)

  • The quota value should likely be displayed near the top or the bottom of the icon.

• 🔧 Custom Positioning: Add the option to change the position of the HUD elements, in the config. (suggested by @slashsgt)

  • Changing a position could be changing the X and Y screen values and/or selecting from a list of predefined areas.

• 🎭 HUD Styling: Add the option to change the style of different HUD elements, in the config.

  • Changing a style would be selecting from a list of predefined styles for each element.

• ❤ Health Meter: Add a health meter to the HUD, with custom positioning and alternative styles.

  • This could either be a bar meter or just a number value.

• 🧭 Compass: Add a compass, with custom positioning and alternative styles.

  • Fallout style compass. (suggested by @slashsgt)

• 😨 Sanity Meter: Add a sanity meter to the HUD, with custom positioning and alternative styles.

  • Knowing sanity is useful because a lower sanity you have, the more likely a girl or bracken will target you, and more.

Note: All features added will be Disabled by default.
